- After installing Linux Mandrake 9.0 RC 1 when I log out as usr and then log in as root, I have no kde programs available to run. executing service dm start does not restore the kde applications.

- IIRC, the menus for root where stripped away, to make it more difficult for new
users to use graphical root, and prevent problems, as you should not be running the
graphical interface as root, but as a user, and launching required 'root' programs
from a console, when they are not assigned a password prompt.

- This did not answer the problem. In root graphical, I have always be able to open knogi as a local file browser, access the internet with kongi, open a console window, mount a cdrom for program install etc. This was not possible. Most Kde apps were missing. To me it sounds like the dm problem is still present.

- I have no problems with KDE programms and root in RC1, nobody else reported
any problem either. So you may have a broken cd, or you just did not install
all the kde packages.
If this answer helped you please make sure you close this incident and rate
the expert that helped you.

- I downloaded and installed all the latest KDE rpm's from cooker and installed. When I log out user after a reboot I am taken right back to my user desktop. No options. When I log out a second time, I see the KDE Kongi graphic options dialouge to log in as a different user, reboot, or shut down. I am then taken to the GUI to choose a new log in. The root now seems to work correctly with a stripped down set of KDE apps.

- Run menudrake and press save, see if you are presented with all the icons for
the apps.

- Running menudrake or doing a menu-update, then logging out and back in is a good work around for this problem.

- Ok so it worked:-)
Well that menudrake thing has to be done usually if you upgrade kde packages
since sometimes the new packages overwrite config files, so now you know how
to get them back.
